Sometimes I wish I had a crystal ball. Wouldn’t it be nice to know what your future holds?
2020 is just days away, but what will it be like?
If you think about it, humans crave stability and safety and trying to keep things in life predictable.
How do we do it? The main problem is that we don’t have a crystal ball and seeing around corners is beyond human capacity!
Life is sometimes like a road trip.
Imagine you are off for a road trip from your hometown to another city just two days away. Now imagine the year is 1985, no internet, GPS or Satellite to guide you. All you know is that there are roads to travel, exits to take and hotels and restaurants along the way.
As you pack the car, you think to yourself, what if I get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere? What if I get lost? All possible scenarios even in 2020. You head out anyway by overriding the thought and thinking positive. Along the way, an interesting thing happens….
First of all, your paper map gives you enough confidence about what route to take but not what each road will look like? Some roads are pretty straight, others have pot-holes, and others have curves and bends that you can't see beyond.
It's hard to see around the bend, isn't it? But after driving for hours in such situations, you notice that all you need to see is what you can ahead of you and that as you come through the curve, you begin to see what is ahead of you again.
In other words, not seeing the entire road ahead is not a problem if you focus on what is in front of you and let the rest reveal itself as you get closer. You just need to see far enough ahead and then steer in the right direction after that. And that is life!
We may like to know what tomorrow holds, but soon enough tomorrow arrives, and we flow with the next curve or bend. What other reality or choice do we have? No need to stress about tomorrow or what it may bring!
Get it? Got it? Now don’t forget it!
Here is your Action Plan:
Someone smart said the best way to build your future is to design it.
Based on that idea, sit down and think about a goal that you have like earning more money or getting fit.
Now make a plan and follow it. It’s that simple.
Just don’t get caught up in the thought about seeing everything clearly as you would on a straight road. Your road will and must have curves and bends.
Just start the ignition, follow your plan and focus on what’s ahead.
When your day is done, be honest with yourself about your efforts and start all over again tomorrow.
You Got This!
